The Episode took place in early October at Hveragerði’s Sundlaugin Laugaskarði and has produced a music film to accompany Emiliana Torrini’s single I Heard it All Before.
The video’s inspiration was 1930s director Busby Berekley and was directed by Ali Taylor of Academy Films. Ali won best video in the Icelandic Music awards 2005 for her Sunny Road video for Emiliana.
Of all the Weird Girls Project episodes this was the most ambitious by far. The crew consisted of 15 and there were 16 girls taking part. There was great fear leading up to the event because as usual the concept was developed more than 3 months in advance and the Icelandic weather had almost continuously rained for 4 weeks leading up to the event and then snowed the 2 days before. Through fate and gifts from karma the day in question poured immaculate sunlight and clear skies upon the winter mermaids.
